It's an alpha project called Lumiera that's using boost 1.34.1 or greater as one of it's minimum requirements. I wanted to take a look at the interface, so I just hacked it to compile against 1.40. Good to know about the "versioned" option. Thanks Todd :-) Vladimir Prus wrote:

Is there a difference in the naming conventions of the libboost_*.so files from boost 1.39 to boost 1.40.0?

When I build the boost 1.39 libs they have filenames like...

"libboost_thread-gcc44-mt-1_39.so"

..but when I build boost 1.40.0 all the libs filenames are like so...

"libboost_thread.so"

Did the library naming change in 1.40 or are their new compile options to enable the library naming feature?

Yes, it has changed. The default on Unix is now

--layout=system

you can get the old behaviour with

--layout=versioned

But -- why do you want this naming that no other library on Unix has?
